Psalms 25:7 (ESV Strong's)
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
Subject: God's Love
If you wear glasses you know how difficult little things can be when you don't have them. If you wear them for reading, especially. Without them you might find yourself bringing pieces of paper or phones up close to your nose to read the print. Everyone you see clearly you see through the lens of those glasses. It is doubtful God has poor seeing, but it essential that God sees us through the lens of His love, if we hope to have His mercy. If God were not to look at us through the lens of Love, He would undoubtedly see all our sins; plied up from our youth. In the above passage, King David asks God to look at his life through the lens of "steadfast" love. Not for David's sake, but for God's own goodness. God loving us does benefit us. But, it is for the purpose of bringing glory to Himself. God's love is an expression of His glory. God's love is expressed to us to demonstrate His goodness, not because He see us as good. We need to rejoice in the Love of God for the sake of magnifying God's glory.
